    摘要: A computer-implemented method of automatically locating a portion of interest in image or matrix data derived from an item under consideration comprises: identifying parts of the image or matrix data that satisfy a preset threshold as objects which are possibly parts of the portion of the interest; applying at least one preselected filter to the data corresponding to the objects to find a set of objects consisting of the objects most likely to be part of the portion of interest; sorting the objects of the set into clusters according to a predefined criterion; and using a known characteristic of the portion of interest to identify which one of the clusters corresponds to the portion of interest.

    摘要: Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a probe of a probe systems may comprise a linear and/or two-dimensional sensor array for obtaining information regarding a test piece. The sensor elements of the sensor array may comprise ultrasonic, Eddy Current, magnetic, and/or piezoelectric elements or the like. The sensor array may be utilized to detect movement of the probe with respect to the test piece, and may be further utilized to obtain data regarding the test piece, such as image data, for example with respect to a characteristic of the test piece in detecting and locating flaws. A CAD type file or other graphical or image file of the test piece may be displayed concurrently with image data of the test piece obtained by the probe for example to assist an operator in navigating the probe with respect to the test piece, and/or to determine a coordinate location of characteristics of the test piece with respect to the CAD type file.

    摘要: A primary object of the present invention is to provide ultrasonic inspection equipment and method which facilitate alignment of display positions of three-dimensional ultrasonic inspection data and three-dimensional shape data, and which are capable of quickly discriminating between a defect echo and an inner-wall echo.
    A computer (102A) has a position correction function of correcting a relative display position between three-dimensional shape data and three-dimensional ultrasonic inspection data. According to the position correction function, a display position of the three-dimensional ultrasonic inspection data or that of the three-dimensional shape data is moved by a norm of a mean vector along the mean vector that is calculated from a plurality of vectors defined by a plurality of points selected in the three-dimensional ultrasonic inspection data and by a plurality of points selected in the three-dimensional shape data, the points selected in the three-dimensional shape data corresponding to the points selected in the three-dimensional ultrasonic inspection data respectively. The three-dimensional shape data and the three-dimensional ultrasonic inspection data are displayed in such a manner as to be superimposed on each other on a three-dimensional display unit (103C).

    摘要: An ultrasound imaging system includes an ultrasound probe having an array of transducer elements (12) divided into a plurality of contiguous transmit sub-apertures (14 a,b,c,d,e). A plurality of transmitters coupled to the sub-apertures of the ultrasound transducer apply respective transmit signals to the sub-apertures at different frequencies and with delays that cause respective transmit beams emanating from the sub-apertures to overlap each other in a region of interest (20). A multiline beamformer coupled to the transducer elements processes signals corresponding to ultrasound echoes to output image signals. A processor receives the image signals from the multiline beamformer and outputs image data corresponding to the image signals. The image data are processed by an image processor to output corresponding display signals that are applied to a display.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an ultrasonic probe comprising a group of piezoelectric elements consisting of a plurality of piezoelectric elements of a narrow card shape arrayed in a long-axis direction thereof and a rotational mechanism that rotates and oscillates said group of piezoelectric elements to the left and right in a short-axis direction thereof about the center of said long-axis direction; wherein said rotational mechanism is provided with a first bevel gear having teeth in at least an arc shape, a second bevel gear meshing with said first bevel gear and rotating in the horizontal direction, and a drive motor that rotates said second bevel gear; the rotational axis of said second bevel gear and the rotational axis of said drive motor are linked by a pulley linkage using a belt; and also at least one of said first bevel gear and said second bevel gear is made of a synthetic resin. This ensures that the generation of metallic noise is suppressed, thus removing a source of discomfort, particularly to patients.
